I don’t think you really can. A lot of the big firms are standardized. But never hurts to try since signing bonus or start date could be flexible

Yeah no that makes sense. Didn’t get offered a signing bonus unfortunately

I did! I was able to get a little increase by leveraging another offer.

out of college, yes

Yes. Initially offered 62K in DC, no sign on. Which is essentially like being offered 30K anywhere else.

I used a New York offer to negotiate to 75K plus 5K sign on and a few non-monetary perks.

I didnt, but regret not trying to. Worst thing they can do is say no

Always ask. HR confirmed that many people in my hiring class (including me) asked for a pay bump before starting, which caused them to bump the base salary up.

Can you help explain why a team would be able to afford hiring an individual under PDM at a higher salary but unable to offer the same package under the Traditional route?

For context, I’m currently negotiating for a role and have expressed some of my concerns. My recruiter has been very helpful, but I’d like to better understand the reasoning before making my decision. The offer is $100k for PDM, but $85k max if brought on as Traditional.

Thank you for your help and any additional thoughts!
